PlaneCrazy:
I wouldn't know which programmer to get. Some come with software, some don't. Some are compatible with 24-series, some are compatible with 25-series...Besides, all that I saw for purchase cost more than the Arduino. Which is also why I bought the Arduino first. But I'm not completely against the idea.
This is the same as mine (unfortunately, I paid like $14 for mine) - different manufacturer, but same chip, likely both clones of the same thing. $2.50 with shipping (more expensive ones with faster shipping exist). That's two dollars and fifty cents - sub-cup-of-coffee pricing.
Would bet money that that could read the FRAM chip too if you tell it it's an eeprom of same size.
